Silence
1. Put on your “brakes” and stop for a moment of silence
2. Wait for God. Breathe deep for God's peace and feel His presence. Exhale your worries.
Praise and Thanksgiving
1. Think through your day, all the times that made you smile
2. Thank God for all those moments, and for all those people
3. Sing a song to praise God (you are welcome to use "Father, I adore you" which I have been singing every morning for the past 20 years or your own choice to praise God)
Father, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.
Jesus, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.
Spirit, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.
Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method https://bishopsilas.blogspot.com/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html
1. Pray for the Holy Spirit to shine on you that you are able to discover your sins and be willing to repent:
“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God and having Jesus as my Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sins to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gifts to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."
“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God and having Jesus as my Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
2. Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:
"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sins to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gifts to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."
3. John Stott's daily prayer of Christlikeness (Christopher J.H. Wright, Cultivating the fruit of the Spirit. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2017, 13)
(Please click this link to see how God used John Stott to change my life:https://bishopsilas.blogspot.com/2009/07/
"Heavenly Father, I pray that this day I may live in your presence and please you more and more.
Lord Jesus, I pray that this day I may take up my cross and follow you.
Holy Spirit, I pray that this day you will fill me with yourself and cause your fruit to ripen in my life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."
The link to today's Time with Abba passages: http://api.pastoralcareschool.org/twa/
Time with Abba passages: (Psalm 99:1-9, Ecclesiastes 7:1-9:18; 2 Corinthians 7:8-16; Proverbs 22:17-19)
Today's key passage:
The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble;
he sits enthroned between the cherubim,
let the earth shake. Great is the Lord in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations.Let them praise your great and awesome name—
he is holy.The King is mighty, he loves justice—
you have established equity;
in Jacob you have done
what is just and right.Exalt the Lord our God
and worship at his footstool;
he is holy.Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
Samuel was among those who called on his name;
they called on the Lord
and he answered them.He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;
they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.Lord our God,
you answered them;
you were to Israel a forgiving God,
though you punished their misdeeds.Exalt the Lord our God
and worship at his holy mountain,
for the Lord our God is holy.
Psalm 99:1-9
Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time to Jesus as you listen to him.
My Listening The topic I received today from Jesus is: Worship gold, worship silver, worship gods but not the Triune God!
Today's Psalm leads me to think of the ignorance of human beings! They worship money, worship fame, worship power, worship all kinds of gods but not the Triune God!
Today's Psalm tells us Moses and Aaron who worshiped God and God talked to them like friends, gave them commandments to obey and if they really listened and obeyed they were being protected and blessed from generations to generations!
Let's wake up in the midst of this pandemic and be able to help many people to wake up, do not worship gold, silver and other gods anymore but to worship the true one and only one God, the Triune God! And, we can talk to our God each day like friends and are willing to listen and obey to Him!
Dear Lord Jesus, Help us to wake up in the midst of this pandemic and be able to help many people to wake up, not worshipping gold, silver and other gods anymore but to worship you as our Lord and King. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
